Have a crack just below the pressure gauge. Repairable with epoxy or needs to be replaced?

Two days ago I had my pool pump replaced. Purchased at PinchaPenny and installed by my handyman, well versed in pool maintenance, electrical etc until installing this pump. It was a day from failure. Anyway Pump is a US Motors HP 1.25. I ran it overnight on the 19th of June, added 2 gals...
